Now, pushy salesmen are an easy target, so today's introduction will not pick on them, even if they do wear tacky suits and cheesy grins. In today's podcast, learn the underappreciated skills of the pushy salesman: perseverance, faith in the face of adversity, thick-skinned oblivion and tenacious stick-to-itiveness. All qualities, come to think of it, that will help you to learn Mandarin. See, he's not so bad after all.
